Remember that Pixel 6A mod that opens a 90Hz revitalize price? Well, the developer behind it, Nathan Brooke (also known as Lunarixus), simply made the modifications public in hopes that designers can round off the fine-tune.

In a message on Twitter, Brooke consists of a web link to the project on GitHub as well as claims that he simply does not have adequate time to function on it. The mod triggers a relatively untapped 90Hz revitalize price on the affordable Pixel 6A, which would certainly or else deliver with a 6.1-inch OLED display screen performing at 60Hz. While The Verge‘s elderly editor, Sean Hollister, validated that the mod does function, there are a couple of cautions.

For one, some individuals report seeing an eco-friendly color on their display screens when attempting the mod, yet that’s something Brooke as well as his group wish various other designers can take care of. “The screen tints the exact way high refresh rate OLED panels do when they’re not correctly calibrated,” Brooke informsThe Verge “I know it is fully possible to overwrite these tables but I don’t have the time to work on it myself so I open-sourced the driver edits so that other developers can work on it.“ Brooke adds that you shouldn’t notice the green tint when the display is on the max or lowest brightness; the problem persists when it’s set in the middle.

The process of installing the mod is still pretty complicated, and if you do actually get it to work, we don’t know whether running the higher refresh rate affects the device. It’s still not clear whether the 90Hz option is software locked, or if the mod just overclocks the device, something developer Kuba Wojciechowski pointed out on Twitter a couple of months back. The Verge reached out to Google to see if the Pixel 6A’s display really does support 90Hz, and we’ll update this article if we hear back.

Hopefully, we’ll get some solid information about any possible effects on the device once more developers start diving in. Brooke tells The Verge that developers will eventually “be able to release their own kernels with improved versions” of the chauffeur, so we’ll simply need to remain tuned for an ended up item.
